As for other combinations, I bet dried apricots would be wonderful, maybe with orange zest? And what about dried apples and cinnamon around fall? Oooh, and I wonder if dried papaya and dried pineapple might be fun with perhaps coconut shards?

Mon, 25 Apr 2016 06:39:17 +0000http://www.foodgal.com/?p=18095#comment-380029I was able to get 32 cookies out of this recipe, but it required rolling the dough very thinly between two pieces of parchment paper. The dough ended up being so thin that I could see the pattern on my table through it. As handling such thin dough was extremely difficult, I lined my baking sheet with aluminum foil, sprayed it with oil, and baked the cookies as a single, full baking sheet sized cookie. It took 23 minutes. I cut it directly after taking it out of the oven then let it cool on a rack. They were very easy to cut and came out great. They taste amazing. I’m really excited to make them again, maybe with dates instead of black currants. Any suggestions on other flavor combinations besides black currants-lemon and cranberry-ginger?

I am totally old school. My poor husband has been trying for years to get me to join his e-calendar. I can’t, I need paper.
